good luck on your project, it sounds good !
If I did it, I will change his body more physically stronger (with Six-Pack)
and change something on his standing, like to add a yellow light from his hand, or something that doesn't exist in another character.

Only do the traditional key frames first. Basic action cycles like running and walking cannot be easily extended, 5 frames really don't make any sense. (technically)
Once you know how to script in more frames you can always sprite more transition frames to smothen things out. Until then you'll be done faster with less frames.

You stretched his face up and made him look all clean. If his skin looks a bit dirty/covered in a thin layer of soot he looks much more like the fire character he's supposed to be:

Also some hair curling back onto his neck really helps break up that straight/clean look too.

yeah what i really meant was "sprite more transition frames to smothen things out." also i wont be doing this to all action sprites, i think falling for example wont need any transition frames imo.

also, more like this:

tampered with the face a little, and added some hair on the neck as suggested.

RE: blaze - YinYin - 12-15-2013

Better, but now you've also made his face thinner which kind of almost negates the effect making it still look so not up to the sketch and sprite.

You should really try pulling down nose/eyes and where his hair starts a notch, keep the mouth were it is (the way it happens when you overlay the sketch on the face as I did).
I think that really makes the most difference.

And try using thicker outlines and compare them to the original faces.

Also the shading of his neck below the chin could use a little more work. Dent below the adams apple and a hint at the second sternocleidomastoid muscle.

this is what i will stick with for now, i don't want to focus too much on the facepic and i wanna start with basic sprites which is what i will do tomorrow after am back from work.

RE: blaze - Waspy Wasp - 12-15-2013

You could think about making his hair +head little bigger, so he'll fit to other lf2 characters more.
The 'dark' version of face looks retarded.

RE: blaze - Draya Vartaila - 12-15-2013

I dont, see any problems with face, the first one was the best.

Hm, I've checked it next to originals and the size seems fine.

That's ok.
The neck looks great now and the face is certainly better too.
Still I can't help tinkering with it cause the sketch looks so great and the actual face still has that all-face-muscles-hanging look.

here's what I did (Click to View)

Here are the results:

first: your latest.
second: my edit of the large resolution.
third: my edit on your latest.
last: again your latest for better comparison.

I didn't intend to change the hue of his skin - dunno why that happened.

RE: blaze - onikage - 12-16-2013
